I don't own Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.

''Repsaj? Repsaj, you have to protect me from enemies again. My enemies always wish to battle me to rule this world. I will look in every chamber. You should be in this pyramid. I'll eventually find you,'' King Kooh said as he wandered. He entered his chamber.

King Kooh saw his pet cobra by a bed. A smile appeared on his face. ''You protect me while I rest.'' King Kooh crouched before he scratched the cobra's hood. *Just a mere reward for protecting me* he thought. His smile remained.

After walking out of the chamber, King Kooh continued the search for his brother. He was thoughtful for a few moments. *Perhaps Repsaj is in his chamber now. I remember viewing him resting in another chamber after his wife's death.* Perhaps Repsaj moved on. A certain memory returned to King Kooh. A memory from a few days ago.

Repsaj stood near his bed and frowned. A tear formed in one eye as his sick wife rested on the bed. ''I can protect King Kooh from enemies. My inability to protect you from death…'' Repsaj's lower lip trembled. The tear ran down his face.

Ailicec smiled at Repsaj. ''I'll cherish you here. I'll cherish you in the afterlife, Repsaj.'' She kissed him on the lips. Ailicec closed her eyes. She never woke up.

Another tear ran down Repsaj's face. He faced King Kooh. He began to sob. Repsaj saw concern in the latter's eyes. He turned to Ailicec after King Kooh touched his shoulder. ''You're here for me, my brother,'' Repsaj said.

The memory disappeared. King Kooh stepped into Repsaj's chamber. He frowned the minute he saw the empty bed. *That bed was one reason for Repsaj's many tears* King Kooh thought. He glanced at the entire chamber. *Repsaj is not present at all* he thought.

King Kooh's frown remained as he walked out of the chamber. *Perhaps Repsaj is battling my enemies right now.* King Kooh ran to two doors and opened them. He looked ahead. Other men were not present at all. He turned his head and saw a sphinx.

King Kooh smiled again. *My other pet.* King Kooh focused on the sphinx as it rested near the pyramid. Another frown replaced his smile at a snail's pace. His eyes settled on one of the sphinx's paws. He shook his head in disbelief.

*I remember one enemy stabbing your paw during the previous day. I wish you devoured him, my pet. Perhaps the enemy won't flee another time.*

King Kooh began to close the doors. He turned and walked into another area of the pyramid. *Repsaj must be here* he thought. Another smile formed on his face.
